My 14th Birthday Party? Ideas for Party and Gift Bags?!
My 14th Birthday Party? Ideas for Party and Gift Bags?
I want to celebrate my fourteenth birthday with a total of around twenty guys and girls. It will probably be raining so it must be inside. It also has to be inexpensive (any ideas for gift bags, as well?). I have to convince my parents as well, and I'm not sure what to say. A few things that I canNOT do would be: bowling (two other people already had that party), mall, movies, sleepover.
Please help!
I was thinking either ice skating, or just a dinner. Dinner seems a little...eh, okay, and for both, I need to convince my parents.
I also read about a Casino Royale party, somewhere, but I would seriously need extra convincing on the parents for that.
Thank you!

My parents don't really like at-home parties, that's why if I have a theme party at home, they would need a lot of convincing.

You could have a pool party at a hotel. Alot of hotels have indoor pools. You may have to get a room, or you might be able to convince the manager to rent the pool.
If you do get the room, you could have the casino party there. Or let your parents have the room and use one of the meeting rooms for the party.
Try lazer tag, if you have it in your area. I did that for my birthday one year and it was a lot of fun. I had both guys and girls at my party and they all seemed to enjoy it. The only thing is that its pretty expensive (about $10 per game per person) but it might be okay to ask your guests to chip in, since you are having a large party.
Ask if you can have a GIRLS ONLY party and sleepover.

All of this can be altered to your wanting.
When I turned fourteen, it was the last year that I had with my friends before we all went to different high schools, so I wanted to plan I birthday party that all of my friends would remember. Following my mom's suggestion, I dediced to start planning a mall scavenger hunt party. Because I had not had a birthday party for years, it was okay with my parents that this would be a more pricy party. In the end, (including food) the party ended up costing about $300. The first thing that I did was make the list of the things to find, questions to anwser, and things to take pictures of. For the things to find, there were things like green lipgloss, a yellow toe ring, rainbow knee socks, and a bag of chocolate coins. These items are inexpensive, and as my friends later found out, make good goody bag items! For my questions, I asked things like, What stores surrond Baskin Robbins?, how many employees are currently working at Abercrombie and Fitch?, how much does the expensive pair of jeans sold at Nordstroms cost?, and True or False- See's Candies is across from Sharper Image? For the picture questions, I had them take a picture of things like a person getting their makeup done, a manequine wearing some sort of green, and a public restroom. Instead of buying disposable cameras, we used digital cameras and picture phones. I then sent out invitations, and quickly everyone replied.I invited ten of my friends 'randomly' drew names from a hat to divide the girls into five grous of two. (Of course, I rigged it so that I could be with my best friend!). My parents then gave each group twenty five dollars, the list that I had made, and a list of rules. The rules were that they had to stay in partners, couldn't spend anymore money than given, and had to report back to our meeting spot in two hours. For two hours solid, the mall had groups of girls running around laughing and screaming! When the party was over, we ate dinner at the food court while my parents talied up who won. My parents gave each girl $5 to get food from whenever she wants. This was a good idea because it kept everyone happy. The winner of the party got a $20 gift certificate to the mall, and even those who didn't win got to divide the items that they got with their partner. Much to my relief, the party was a huge sucess! It even became very competitive!
Have fun!
What about sharing past memories together by having a DVD Slideshow put together. I have given these before for numerous occasions and they are always a hit.
